Good Evening Folks,

name: inspirmentalist
age: 24
occupation: pt time sales associates/aspiring producer
status: in relation with a beautiful woman named kimya

i know it's been a while but 2010 is definitely a great year. some minor bumps and bruises here and there but sooooo much better then 2009. 2009 i was very confused...about everything but we won't dread on that.

basically i lost my identity in that year but now it's a new year and i'm back.

the nimbus cloud lp will be dropping next month. i gotta start the recording process this week because i plan to drop it the next time i host an open mic which is october 16th.

you can check out the cover if your my friend on facebook. i'll post it in the blog post later, my friends laur and jess did a great job.

just giving you guys and gals an update for those who still read my blog.

payce,

Time Travel to tell Lauryn Hill about the fall of the industry and ending that andriod nicki minaj's reign of terror

2010-07-12T08:00:00.000-07:00

Good Morning-Afternoon

July 12, 2010

If time travel was super-uber possible. i'd pull a future trunks and go back in time to meet with lauryn hill, give her some of my dope beats and make an album for the future that would crush weak femcees careers. (I.E. Nicki Minaj aja Android 25).

I know i know it sounds like i'm hating but her music....look i respect her as an individual but as an emcee...not even close.

she gives no hope to great female rappers and singers alike. she's not setting a good examples for girls who look up to her. i mean of course they never ever show a persons good side i'm sure she has donated to charities and all that good shit but....her music man..it's like...poison.

anyway....if i could time travel, i would tell her that, around the year 2007. an andriod named Nicki Minaj is born and she's suppose to be becoming the best femcee in the rap game...crushing all that stand in her way...IT'S HORRIBLE MS. HILL it's horrible.

lol that's my wishful thinking/daydream for today

peace and later dayz,

inspirmentalist

I know it's been a minute

2010-04-16T11:14:00.001-07:00

Good Morning-Afternoon,

To all my blog readers:

What's up, What it is, Hello, Salutations, and all that.....

I'm working on my first lp and i'm very excited about dropping it this year. for those of you who follow me on twitter (twitter.com/inspirmentalist) or have heard my latest beat tape, you know that i'm dropping a project called The Nimbus Cloud. i call it The Nimbus Cloud because this musical journey will be sorta like how goku on Dragonball flys the nimbus around the dragonball world. it won't be your typical hip-hop project. it'll be a mix of emo-rap, easy-listening music, soul, a bit of jazz, things around that area. i don't have a specific drop date yet but i'm going to try to have it out before my 24th birthday which is in august. so sometime this summer.

In the mean time, i hope all of my followers, friends, fans, and listeners have been bumping all of my beat tapes. for those of you who have not had the chance to download and listen to them, i'll post them in this blog at the end.

Other then working on beats, writing lyrics and everything. i've been ok, i've been job hunting like crazy since i'm unfortunately broke and unemployed at the moment. it freaking sucks. i am however heading back to school this year so i'll probably end up broke again anyway lol. i plan on attending the Art Institute of Philadelphia for the Audio Production Program. i soooooo hope i get accepted, i wanna go to this school....badly.

and that's all people.

Peace and Lata Dayz,

-Mental

Valentine's Day...

2010-02-15T09:55:00.000-08:00

Good Morning-Afternoon,

to whom may ever read this or be subscribed to my blog.

Valentine's Day? what did i do?....NOT A DAMN THING! lol

i just chilled, got a couple text messages from a couple girls i know.

i probably would have had spent it with someone but things didn't work out the way god planned.

to be honest, my mind state right now got me thinking that relationships are just stepping stones...until you find that one you call your own.

2 Project Goals: The Nimbus Cloud Mixtape/ Secluded Sounds & Scrolls

2010-01-05T09:53:00.000-08:00

Good Morning-Afternoon,

I know i ain't drop a post in a minute but, to all my peoples/fans/supporters. i'm alive....
i've been through some struggles in 09. laid off, having to move back to my hometown where careers range from being in retail, the mall, or a fast-food joint. i realize that for 2010 i got to be a better person. i've made quite a few mistakes in my life and i realize i've learned a lot from them. i've said a lot of hurtful things to people, isolated myself, & pushed folks away. i'm dropping 2 projects this year....that's one of my main goals. whatever goals i decided to create they'll just have to come to me.

peace & later days,

-mental

Jobless....

2009-12-02T08:57:00.000-08:00

Good Morning-Afternoon folks,

yea so i decided to quit my recent job because i can't focus at work. i decided i want to head back to school next spring and retake some courses i got d's in when i was attending devry.

yea yea, i got a degree already but one things for sure i want to get my certification in audio and in windows. so i gotta make that move and get my grades up.

it was probably not the best move to go work in retail after my 5 weeks of group therapy. but i got a little check coming in for x-mas shopping.

secluded sounds vol. 3 will be coming out on new years day, i promise to whoever maybe reading this right now. after this project an album will be dropping sometime in 2010.

2010 will be the year of great things, good beats, and glorious adventures.

the year of the Inspirmentalist

peace and lata dayz

The Work World and Trying to find yourself

2009-11-23T13:29:00.000-08:00

Good Afternoon-Evening,

ok...i just started working in retail again recently. due to a situation with a coworker from my previous job, that and the drive to work was annoying me. anywho, i'm at the point in my life where i'm just trying to get paid and i could give a damn about what people at work think of me or perceive me as. life: living in full effect. you have moments in your life whether it may effect you emotionally, physically, or mentally but no matter what you go through, you got to keep pushing. i can honestly say that i had a great childhood, sometimes i was a bit confused because i didn't understand the world and why everybody is so damn jumpy. i gotta admit in high school, i had phobias, i'm not gonna go into detail about what they are it's because of what i was taught and what i've experienced. i also had a very bad temper which is part of human nature. i'm trying to remain focused and chill especially in the work place, my coworkers can think whatever about me but they ain't live my life. i love my life right now and i'm comfortable where i'm at, i'm gonna keep pushing with my music no matter what happens.

peace and lata dayz,

I'M BACK LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, i'm back mentally, physically and spiritually

2009-10-30T08:00:00.000-07:00

Good Morning-Afternoon,

just an update...secluded sounds vol. 3 will be coming out next month.

i performed my single from 2007 goodnight 2 nights ago and ripped it at 1 rittenhouse in philly.

got an interview and mad props from artist and the people that hosted it.

gonna perform again next week, gonna do this song called mentals theme made the beat back in 07.

basically i've been just enjoying life, i have my old room back from my child-teen years except the bed is bigger lol and it's comfortable. no more sleeping in my parents basement, i'm back at my grandmother's aka my 2nd mother.

and i'm not too far away from my mommy ^_^ i know i know i'm 23 yrs old and i'm a momma's and grandmomma's boy but i freaking love it.

because.

1. i'm young
2. i got no kids
3. i got no serious responsibilities
4. i make music
5. i love being back home even though living on my own was ok.

shoutouts to all the bloggers i'm subscribed to...shoutouts to all my people who stop by to read my blog.

peace and lata dayz,

-mental ^_^

I'm so fucking emotional man....

2009-10-17T12:25:00.000-07:00

know i gotta quit isolating myself but if you walked in my shoes, experienced my health...you feel like your a burden on your family.feel like throughout your life there was calamities.there were more good times that i try to remember then the bad.....freeze.

....yea i grew up with both my mom and my dad that shared different views on things...i guess that's just the way chemistry flows, but when your the son of a C.O. and a teacher assistant.i guess you gotta live your life with persistance but sometimes you wanna erase yourself from existence....

disregard that post about life and the world...

2009-09-24T09:19:00.000-07:00

Good Morning-Afternoon,

i'm going through a lot of things spiritually....i don't know what it is. i didn't start feeling this way until i turned 23 and joined the sound ministry at my church. i know it sounds strange...

maybe it's my emotions...maybe it's the people in my life...maybe it's my experiences.

i know that god will get me through this...just gotta get praying.

Peace and Lata Dayz Folks,

Animated Heroes and young males

2009-09-23T11:19:00.001-07:00

Good After-Afternoon,

i'm a nerd...i'll admit to that shit. Goku is my homie...i know it sounds kinda childish but my father didn't raise me. i was raised by my mother and grandmother. All i had to turn to when i was a kid was videogames, toys, and cartoons. my favorite anime of all time? Dragonball Z.

throughout my child-hood i looked up to goku...i had other favorite characters from the series too but Goku is the man. the thing about him is he came from another planet to earth. originally he was programmed to destroy the earth but after a bump to the head, he was a good person.

i guess in a sense what i'm trying to say is...i'm getting in touch with my spirit and in a way i relate to goku and his way.

-mental

p.s. i am in no way copying charles hamilton and his super-sonic philosophy.

I know, I know it's been a while

2009-09-02T10:51:00.001-07:00

Good After-Afternoon,

Mental here... back on the blog tip.

first and foremost...new project out....Secluded Sounds Vol. 2

http://www.zshare.net/download/645594408abcc218/

Do yourself a favor and support a broke producer by downloading your free copy for your listening pleasure of SS vol. 2 Link right above.

Anyway, what's going on with me? hmm I'm working 5 days a week...afternoon to evening shift...gotta drive about 70 miles a day...round trip...i'm gonna try to make that change soon as possible cuz ole regina can't take the 360 miles a week (regina is my car).

more interesting things going on...just got a shit load of free vinyl. really no soul records most rock because i picked them up from some white guy who is possibly a racist but he didn't charge me for them so he was cool.

i'm living...just turned 23yrs old last august on the 15th so i'm feeling pretty good and i just started back to my martial arts training yesterday...gotta re-learn everything all over...starting from the beginning (white belt). my sifu (my teacher) really really really needed me to come back to train because he's a single parent now (R.I.P. to Barbara Hicks) and he's got kids he must take care of.

so basically to finish up the 09 strong, i'm gonna get back into my martial arts shape, drop a couple more free Beat Projects and try to get this J.O.B. Mixtape Done...i got 3 months left so.

wish me luck and i'll definitely be back on the blog tip more.

Peace & Lata Dayz,

Family....I'm Home

2009-05-26T17:20:00.000-07:00

Good Evening-Nighty Night,

I know it's been a while peoples....just been through a lot these past few weeks.

one thing? got laid off....lol so the recession mixtape is coming soon.

for now, i'm staying with my dad and stepmom. helping take care of my little crib midgets (baby brother and baby sister)

really don't have any space to set up my equipment so i won't be making any new beats for a while so my listeners you guys will just have to wait. please be patient, once i get into a new spot mixtape will be dropping and i will be dropping another beat tape as well.

i was really stressing about moving back home but i'm actually getting use to it now...going to miss a lot of things

no more bars, no more college parties, no more corner store to walk to, no more late night rides to the arcade i use to go to....it sucks man but i guess i gotta do what i gotta do. *Sad face*

but i think this is just god giving me an opportunity to work on production a lot more and to meet people from surrounding areas. i am near philly btw so that's a good thing. hopefully i can take some audio engineering courses so i can intern at a studio.

other then that, i gotta find a day job soon so.....yea...need to help with groceries and utilities.

ill keep ya'll posted

peace and later days

I wanna go to space....drift away to a non-existance

2009-05-04T15:47:00.000-07:00

Good Afternoon-Evening....

earth.....billions of people......me....1 human, 1 life to live, many dreams to follow.

Producer....Engineering....Photographer......mainly a producer.

i realize that life is short but honestly at this point in my life...i'm not in a hurry to get a placement....i mean i wanna get a placement sometime this year, even if it's something minor...but with how the industry is now? i gotta consider going overseas...maybe it's what o'mas keith from sa-ra said....maybe it's because i'm sick of radio and the cats that be telling me to check out they music on their page......the wackness.....

sometimes i feel like lauching myself into space.....away from life's problems...away from the bullshit...just me, an mpc, a turntable, some records, a mixer, and a laptop.

get away.....go away....so far away from....life.....no longer remaining b.davis or inspirmentalist or mental or B......

Z.E.K.E. = Zero Existance Kaotic Emptyness....my name is ZEKE

Truly Though

-mental

It's been a long time, i shouldn't had left you.

2009-04-06T18:26:00.000-07:00

Good Evening, Good Night.

What have i been up to?....trying to escape the nine to five realm. and hoping and praying that my beats got to some industry heads. i know i know, i gotta put in work and quit slacking. i've just trying to survive...pay these loans, and try not to lose my head at work. i realize i need a second job in order to catch up on them so i applied to this little theater near my other job. hopefully i can work there a few days a week, get some extra doe.

looking to definitely get some new equipment. moving out of my room soon, probably to another double.

i know things don't come without hardwork, and a closed mouth never gets fed...but somebody out there gotta give me a chance working as an engineer...and i feel that i need to network with that right artist.

i just gotta keep reaching for the stars...and praying that somebody will appreciate my work...i wish i can be in the homie dame beats shoes right now.

peace and lata dayz folks

-mental

I don't know why i even try.....

2009-02-27T14:25:00.001-08:00

Good Afternoon-Evening....

I know i haven't been by in a minute....i'm just at a stressful point in my life right now where i just wanna get the fuck out of working and get the fuck out of new jersey. i wish somebody would just give me a chance to work in a studio and understand that i will work hard and won't be a burden on anybody. i just wanna say, i like my co-workers, i like my office, but i hate our product and i hate the customers.

1) the latest hardware that my day job company has released. i get an average of 16 complaints per day and about 7 returns per day. why?...because the developers put useless shit in the program and the hardware company who makes the device put's useless buttons on the device thus confusing the shit out of the driver thus them complaining to my dept.

2) we short staffed so we get 100 of calls a day and it's always the same line from these idiot mother truckers "i've been on hold for x amount of minutes, blah blah" sir or madam just stfu and tell me your problem so that we can move on with our lives.

3) half of these truckers can barely read....why is society so retarded? it makes no sense.

i hope somebody from the industry downloaded my album and is replaying it over and over...i need to get out of this place..back into school and into a studio after school each and everyday...this 9 to 5 shit ain't me.

- peace and lata dayz and have a good weekend fols

I'm a shoe in for the march IStandard Producer Showcase so....

2009-02-21T21:23:00.000-08:00

Good Evening- Good Night Peoples,

if your in the nj or nyc area around the week of march 18th...come out and support your boy Inspirmentalist that evening. I gotta sit down for the rest of the weekend and figure out which beats i wanna show to the judges of the industry. it's still a surprise to me until this wednesday's meeting.

as far as my Instrumental Ep is going...75 downloads...i appreciate the support from all my friends and family who may have downloaded my project. ya'll know who ya'll are and i love you guys! ^_^

let's keep the downloads going by pushing my link to other people....especially the true hip-hop heads http://www.zshare.net/download/55586247c349aa85/

Keep an eye out for my videos on youtube too...look me up..youtube.com/inspirmentalist

Peace and Lata Dayz

If you haven't done so already...

2009-02-17T19:23:00.000-08:00

Good Evening- Good Night,

Just to give my readers an update. my instrumental ep has been up on zshare since friday.

Secluded Sounds Vol. 1

if any of my readers downloaded this, i appreciate it. i need another favor though....
if you know any..and i mean any, lyricist(not a rapper.) Singer, Producer, Engineer, A&R,...give them a copy of this record. i would greatly appreciate it. they'll love it. i promise.

Regards,

Inspirmentalist aka Mental

p.s. just to give ya'll an update, i've been looking at a couple of school for production and engineering. also some internships as well. education has always been important to me, just as much as music. albums can get your fans, a deal, and a check but an education can expand your horizon and make you set for life...thank god a got and make both ^_^.

Peace and later dayz,

What a day....

2009-02-11T16:05:00.000-08:00

Good Evening-Good Night,

alk.....princeton, nj.....

i don't wanna be there more then 1 year.

i gotta escape the day job realm and i need help. i feel like time is wasting away very fast.
i know i stated this before in my other blogs but again, i don't belong in the corporate world....even though i don't gotta dress up for this job and it's laid back but i don't want to have to be on a schedule mon thru fri.

i'm doing everything i can to learn, create, and work at a studio. i'm emailing studios, seeing if they offer internships, i'm about to enter these producers competitions, and i'm going to attend this ascap conference in LA...

i'm looking to move out of jersey....i'm not making any type of networking progress here.

shout outs and wazzup to dame...i think he could actually help ya'll boy mental out if i get settled out there. i need him to be the jay-z to my kanye.

i'm willing to sacrifice whatever. time for sleep, QT with the fam and friends, giving away my beats for free.... all i want to do is create music that's all.

so...can ya'll help me?...i'm dropping my Instrumental cd on myspace this friday. if you like it...do me a favor and enjoy it...if you love it...enjoy and push it to anybody you know who's got connections with the industry. i want them to hear my work..(myspace.com/bdavisjr)

i'm not like these guys out here chasing money. i'm working for a goal, a passion in which i can put my heart, spirit, and mind into.

so please...help me in anyway you can.

take care,

2009-02-06T15:55:00.000-08:00

Good Afternoon-Evening

well folks, i know it's been a while...it's been about 2 weeks since i started my new day job. gotta say....it's not bad...i wanna be in the studio 24/7 but helping people over the phone ain't too bad.

day job: basically all i do is help non-tech saavy truckers with gps hardware or software issues...i'm very very technical saavy, i'm not bragging or tooting my own horn but i'm not like the horribe tech service overseas..preferably india (no offense to indian people, i was born on the same day you guys gained indepence, i love your food, culture, and your women ^_^)

anyway moving on....

about to drop an ep before this month is over...i got to work on some flyers 2night for my homie's dance team so yea i'm gonna be pretty busy. i'm gonna take some pictures for the digital cover, they won't be magazine exclusives but they'll be ok for your ipod cover set.
Secluded Sounds....it's a beat cd...a beat tape...an instrumental ep or what ever you wanna call it that will feature some work from me and my homies up and coming album Secluded Sounds & Scriptures...

which i'm hoping will get done before the summer but we'll see what happens. if 9th and sky could pull the 3day high which was a classic btw. i'm sure Mental and hexx can put 2gether something in a short amount of time as well.

just giving my readers an update folks. i'll post the link for the ep soon.

i need a fanbase...i need people to view my blogs, listen to my music, and come to my live blog shows...i want friends, but i want fans as well.

i wanna create a team of producers in training...i want a star pupil. i want someone a bit younger then me who is willing to learn the craft that i have mastered and have learned from kids my own age when i was in my teens...

i wanna collab with emcees, lyricists, poets, musicians, film-makers....and other types of artists.

projects determined to finish this year:

not your average producer magazine (nyap magazine)
YIam presents: Secluded Sounds & Scriptures (Inspirmentalist & Legion Hexx, are YIam)

Good Morning-Afternoon,

11:10am:

yesterday....hung out with one of my best buds laur. since i got a new job, she decided to take me out for lunch (shoutouts to laur, one of the best artist i've ever met in my life.) we went to cheeburger cheeburger....i got a decent size burger, and we split the onion rings. ^_^. then, we went to the mall, visited her old boss, went to borders which is....GOING OUT OF BUSINESS! i purchased my first mangas ever, which i thought would be dbz, but i settled for bleach because i like that too, even though i never really watched it. went to hot topic hoping to find a spiderman shirt to match my spiderman fitted...fail. oh well. went to the theaters to see mall cop...funny as hell. lots of action. i want to know that chick and the dude who were freerunning they were excellent. i eventually wanna learn about freerunning and perform some in a safe environment.

but yea about the title...hmm. to let everybody know, i eventually do want to be where my homie dame is. not location wise, but to the point where i can make tracks for a living. i know if i keep up my faith and my good work i'll make it. but to be honest...i love my new day job, being a tech support analyst is very cool.

perks: own office, great city to work in, great bosses, and so much more.

shout outs to my new managers, rob and marc. see you guys tmrw ^_^

"i'm eating" wtf you can't pick up my obama comic bro?!

2009-01-22T20:46:00.000-08:00

Good Evening-Good Night Folks,

Earlier today...was awesome....

went to sonics with the homies, hexx, badillo, and vic....got a chili burger with tots, a sprite, and a peanut butter milkshake..(hitting the gym tommorrow. don't worry)

i got a call earlier stating that my obama spidey comic was in...only issue is that i placed in order in my hometown which is two hours away. if you read my blogs you know me well enough to realize that i'm super busy with my terrific day job and my producing great beats.

so i asked my little bro, who just got his license and a bmw, thanks to my dad and grandmother...a 90 bmw. he could have made it to the shop for me...but this fuckin kid chose to eat...

and did i not just help your tall ass friend get a phone off ebay.

fail.... oh well, i'm hoping they'll hold it for me until my dad can pick it up.

anyway, i start my new job on monday and i am so blessed. I wanna thank god and i wanna thank my previous employeers for granting i opportunities in my path in order to get to this lovely company which is in princeton but i can't tell you the name (stalkers lol)

picture will be coming soon though...SINCE I HAVE MY OWN OFFICE!!!
no blogtv @ work though like at argix, sorry this is a company i wanna put some work in at.

Peace and lata dayz,

-mentalist

p.s.....never rely on a jock to pick up a nerd item such as a comic. he'll just be eating or doing pushups...sorry lil bro, i <3 you.

I watched the inaugutaion and bush looked sad...

2009-01-20T13:44:00.000-08:00

Good Afternoon-Evening,

Woke up early this morning...took a leak....went to my pc and went to cnn.com...watched the footage of the obamas attending church and attending breakfast with the bush's....lol as much as i disliked bush's decessions when he was in office. i felt kinda sorry for the guy. OBAMA 08 AND BEYOND SON!!
(sorry random quote filler)

lol anyway....obama stated that we have major issues that we need to fix...but we will meet with them in order to repair them. we all know that it's going to take a few years before everything is peaceful again. so at this point in our lives, we need to ban together and solve americas issues.

Peace and lata dayz

i need my resignation bonus son! i got bills to pay

2009-01-19T10:13:00.001-08:00

Good Morning-Afternoon,

As you have read in my past adventures. i got a new job...and got laid off from the old one. Now, i loved working for argix and i wanted to continue working with them until my 2 weeks was over. but apparently, they just couldn't afford me the last 2 weeks thus why they promised me a nice bonus according to this contract i signed. i'm not one to chase money, i'm patient whenever my checks do come because i know how to manage and stretch my cash. but i won't be getting paid from my new gig until like the 15th of next month O_o..... thus why i need my bonus asap.

i have my student loans and rent i need to pay. the credit cards and celly can wait until next month.

ugh, they say time is money but it seems money can't come on time lol oh well, i'm still eating and living so f*ck it, i'll be waiting by the mailbox.

"Bro, where did you get my songs"

2009-01-15T19:17:00.000-08:00

Good Evening-Good Night,

Tip of the day: All writers, Emcees, Producers, Poets, Photographers....keep back up copies of your work on a usb flash drive, external harddrive, cds, or other devices. i state this tip because, my older brother (step-brother but still my older brother no less) isn't really that tech saavy but he can get by if i show him what to do. anyway, he wrote and recorded some hot ish a few years back and i just happended to keep the music he had recorded on my pc and my ipod...i played it for him and my cousin today and he was blown away. he was like...yooooo where did you get this bro, i was like son, i downloaded off your myspace like 3 yrs ago lol before you made a new myspace page. now as hot as his shit is, somebody could easily steal that shit and blow up off it, thus why i kept it on my ipod and away from industries. i hope and pray no one else has his shit, because i don't want any n word stealing his work and making mils of it. point blank, you steal my bruhs stuff, you getting sued, plain and simple.

Been a few days....

2009-01-14T14:58:00.000-08:00

Good Evening-Good Night,

last 4 days consisted of....spending time with the fam, eating home cooked meals, and catching a bad stomach flu which, thank the lord only lasted a day. man this flu had me vomiting and sh**ing like nobodies buisness. it was just some weird virus that went around the family home. my dad said some guy at his job got it too. maybe it was just something in the air. anyway, to give my viewers a headsup, be sure to stay on your vitamin C and water. if your stomach is bother you, stick your index finger in some salt and lick it off. i tried ginger ale and pepto bismol. that sh*t just gave me the runs and made me barf...yuck.

moving on!

i got this crazy concept in my head for this song called paralell universe. the first couple bars consist of

"thugs talk about the stars aline,
instead of sticking to the hustle and nines,
pimps & hoes become nuns & priest,
traditions of the west, become part of the east."

i want to sample this one musical piece from kingdom hearts.

yes i produce but i also write but a career future. i wanna stick to creating these beats!!!

and i'm going to be one of the best. so all you katz that do it for chasing money and fame. take your equipment back to the store or sell it on ebay.

stop chasing money, chase your heart's dreams.

Irony: I'm giving in my 2 wee...no your laid off

2009-01-10T06:23:00.000-08:00

Good Morning-Afternoon Peoples,

It's funny how the lord helps in my life. ok scene one. i'm arriving to work around 3:03pm. i get to the IT lab (that's my day job) and my bosses are sitting there just chillin. i drop off my lunch in the fridge, put away my jacket. I hear my boss say, hey brian come in here and have a seat. i'm like ok!
so they both look there with sad faces and my boss charlie is like, i hate to be the bearer of bad news but due to the economic problems we are having in the USA our company has had some lay-offs and you were on the list. those weren't his exact words but you get the point. so i responded, that's funny charlie because i was giving in my two weeks today heeheheheheh. he was somewhat reliefed. my other boss tony looked pretty bummed about it, i guess it's because the hours are changing and he doesn't have me to kid around with anymore. The cool thing about this is, they are giving me an extra month on my work insurance and i'm getting a leave bonus. i thought about shooting to florida but my friend "sempai" reminded me that oh you have loans to pay and don't you wanna invest in your music. i'm like damn your right, so i'm gonna use some to pay my bills and i'm buying protools with the rest.

I'm a heavy believer in god and i think god saw that i haven't took a vacation in so long, he was just like you need a break mental. So first and foremost, i wanna thank the lord for giving me a better paying job with a chance to grow within the company. i wanna thank him for this 2 week vacation and bonus check. i wanna give shout outs to my former day job bosses tony and charlie. i will miss you two, thanks for letting me write you down as references.

that was just the jist of my day yesterday

Gotta break the news to ole chucky today

2009-01-09T09:23:00.000-08:00

Good Morning-Afternoon Folks,

in the next 2 and a half hours...i gotta tell my boss that i have some good news, some bad news, and some more good news.

Good News is...i got a new job

Bad News is...i'm leaving this job

More Good News is my homie is taking my place so hopefully they'll consider hiring him

Yes folks, i'm an official 9 to 5ver. i don't want to do it forever but this is just a step up in salary and it'll help me fund my music. and with this schedule, i can make it to nyc to catch shows and promote my music and perform as well once i'm ready.

welp that's my time today folks

peace and lata dayz

p.s. R.I.P. to Oscar Grant, the kid who got his life taken harshly by the devilish Bart Police.

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!

2009-01-08T13:52:00.000-08:00

Good Afternoon-Evening Folks,

had an interview yesterday and i'm officially an employee of this company in princeton, nj. i don't wanna release the name just incase i have stalkers lol. i'm a technical support analyst for a gps company and i'm hoping to move on to programming as well. this is a day job used to pay my bills and for my necessaties. also to support my passion as well. it gives me my evenings back which is good because i want to be able to go to the city and possibly perform in some shows and catch some shows as well. i start on the 26th of this month and i'm trying to get my homie to take my spot here. which i hope they'll consider hiring him because he is a devry grad as well. the only thing is, he didn't pay for his grad fee so he never got his degree technically speaking. anyway, shout outs to my follower kc who's been reading my blogs. i heart you.

peace and lata dayz,

-mentalist

interview tommorrow. yes, aspiring producers must have day jobs

2009-01-06T20:48:00.000-08:00

Good Evening-Good Night Folks,

just got home from work about 20 mins ago. i've been recently sending out resumes to companies for a better and more progressive position. I have an interview tomorrow with this gps software company called ALK technologies. judging by their site and location, they are a very promising company. i just hope they see that i'm experience enough to handle technical support. Also if i'm hired, i hope to work with a good team just as i did at star. i mean we had our issues but eh it is what it is. The point i'm trying to get at in this blog is that even though i'm in the work world, i want to let people know i'm still a musician. i'm just a musician with a day job lol i'm hoping one day in the following year, i can finally leave the work force and make music for a living, just like my homie from cali dame beats, shout outs to him, i follow him on blogtv and his blog. anyway, this position seems pretty cool. good thing about it is, more money, back on 1st shift so i'll have time to do shows at night if i please. on blog and live. also it's near princeton library where i use to work, so i'll be visiting some old employees to let them know that i'm doing ok.

welp, good night folks, wish me the best of luck and pray for me.

peace and lata dayz,

-Inspirmentalist

it's so effed up

2009-01-04T10:02:00.000-08:00

....why do i gotta be dealing with crazy, bitchy, whore-like females?

if ya'll read the previous blogs, you know whom i'm speaking of.

we all deal with pain but what i saw last night was just beyond reason. My old friend was right, i should have never fell for her. but you know what they say, you reap what you sow, so i hope she'll reap and feel the pain that was delt. i'll be making a song of this incident soon enough so please be patient.

back to the day job...the day after new years.

2009-01-02T07:13:00.000-08:00

Good Morning-Afternoon Folks,

you probably wondering why i always put the afternoon after morning huh? it's just a greeting to those who made read this later on in the afternoon. if i write this in the afternoon say around 4pm, i say good afternoon-evening.

anyway...moving on

My new years was pretty chill and fun. I didn't drink. i treated my body to some green tea. i had a bad experience last time and drinking and it kinda resulted in a distant relationship from a very dear friend of mine who i miss seeing. hope i get to see her again real soon.

anyway, i head back to work early 2day due to the fact i left early on new years eve. so today is going to be a longgggggggggg day. noon to eleven, ugh.

but i need that cash in order to pay bills, eat, travel, and to support my true passion.

Be on the look out for Secluded Sounds & Scriptures. it may be an Instrumental Album but i'll try to get a couple of songs i produced on there as well.

i'll have it before winter 09 is over.

peace and lata dayz,

also...potential poindexter mixtape coming sometime in 2009.

i got my mbox so i'm ready to record. just gotta put the foam up in my homemade booth.

anyway to get outside music for a second, i just wanna wish everyone a positive year filled with success, love, and happiness.

all i want this year for myself is success with my music. support from my family and friends and to get back into school.

of course i'm going to improve myself, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

we less then 12 hrs away from a new year, lets make the end of 2008 a great one.

let my heart leak for a moment...

2008-12-28T14:09:00.000-08:00

Good Afternoon-Evening...

Some people say i'm sensitive, soft, need to man up.....in certain circumstances they're right.

i've delt with a lot of heartache this past year and i'm very sick of it. i know in most cases it's always my fault. i hurt a lot of people and i'm very sorry for that. i don't mean to hurt anyone. i want to save everyone, help everyone, try to be the best man i can.

i just get the perspective sometimes like what if i did join the army. would that lovely woman i dated over the summer had still be by my side? probably because i would have been more "manly"

these ladies don't understand the type of dude i am apparently. i don't know what women want nowadays...to be honest, i don't know what i want from a woman myself. sometimes, i get this imagination of flying into outerspace. away from problems, away from life, away from everything. all i need up there is food, oxygen, and my music and i'm good.

my life revolves around my music, family, friends and who give my heart to. i've come to realize that.

the situation that i'm in right now is pretty much shaky at this point. i did somethings to a person that i truly care about that i didn't mean to do...i hope she comes to realize and understand that. yea i still have alot to learn about her, yes i know i give too much at one point. but i'm making a promise to myself to change. to take things one step at a time and not to rush because i think i have a fear of time. time of course moves much quicker then me and i gotta learn to take it easy and not be in such a hurry. I also have to realize not to expect things to be all peaches and sunshine, because life is a bitch and i'm making her my wife...because i control my life.

2008-12-22T14:36:00.000-08:00

to whom ever it may concern:

What up folks,

Just posting this blog to see what's up with everybody's holiday. your's truly has to work on xmas eve....it should be a pretty steady shift, with no major issues...at least that's what i'm hoping for.

i sample this x-mas melody my manz ace da producer sent to me via gmail. it'll be up on my myspace by tonight and i'll keep it up there until next week.

just to give my readers, fans, fam, and friends some updates.

Secluded Sounds and Scriptures is officially an Inspirmentalist Production. it is not a YIam project due to some minor issues with my duo-mate.

i got 95% of my xmas shopping done. now i gotta get my popz and cousin josh something....Giftcards.

um...I didn't have a wish lish for myself, i just brought shirts and kicks just as i pleased. but i know my lady is getting me a new pair of converses...(Mwahz, thank you E)

want to get this but in a smaller format so it'll be the mini with the one mic port

so if you wanna donate towards a starving producers cause...you can by sending a dollar to my paypal address of briano.davis@gmail.com

thank you,

peace and lata dayz,

another day, another thing to write in my blog.

2008-11-25T12:46:00.001-08:00

shout outs to my home skillet, lisa greening...funny ass post you wrote about "jasmine" and the "spread eagle"

anywho, updates:

wrote a song to this beat i made about a month or so ago called the sky is falling...very real song, kinda depressing but the 3rd verse is meant to bring some uplifting. i'll give ya'll a sample.

1st:
The Rain will because there is pain involved
seems today problems we can't solved
because, there's many issues, drug misuse-murder
somebody get that kid's mother a tissue
because, she lost her son before he was 21
since some street punk had pulled a gun and
aimed it towards son's chest took his life
and he ain't never do wrong, he always did do right
just of a victim of today's society
suspect didn't think about this life of this casualty
didn't think about the consequence
didn't even think about a long ass sentence
seems he was always full of rage
the demons inside his heart started to engage
and pulled his soul towards the depths of hell
while the victim saw the light and started to accel- towards it
i wrote this song this past weekend. i'll put it on a mixtape and an album probably.

i still have yet to perform live honestly. i'm so ready but it seems when i am, something always gets in my way or something is cancelled. there's an open mic in newark but i gotta go to south jersey for thanksgiving...but i'll be eating leftovers!!! due to the fact i gotta work friday. i'll be eating @ my friends crib on thursday so it's all good.

peace and lata dayz folks,

Monday....worst day of the week.

2008-11-17T13:45:00.001-08:00

Mondays.....argh..... we all hate them right?

it's the end of a lovely weekend and the beginning of a long week......

i can't complain though, at least i work 2nd shift at my day job and don't have to worry about waking up at the crack of dawn and enduring the morning cold. anywho, my weekend was pretty chill. i was going to perform a song i recorded with my sister from another mister, but i didn't have enough time to prepare and i was fully focused because i work a day job. i went to the talent show and watched a few good performances. it opened up with a poet who was speaking some real ish about how technology plays a big part in our world as far as communication is concerned. no one writes letters anymore. the next one was a beautiful woman who happen to be a dope ass violinist and a great producer. i wish i would have gotten her business card. after that another guy who spoke about the difference between like and love. if you like someone deeply, everything is good. once love hits, shits starts going down the drain. that's why i like women deeply, but love hip-hop music to death. after that, there was this rap duo that was ok, kinda reminded me of a new york version of slum village. now for the bad....w...t...f this one "rapper" was screaming into the mic over his chorus which said "imma air him out"...fail....there were a few other garbage mcs which i won't get into but they know who they are. the one before intermission was dope though, his name is F.A.M.E. he's from jersey city and he's pretty dope. google his name and jersey city, and you'll find his myspace. anywho,i know it'll all be good once me and my partner in rhyme legion hexx start recording our album. Secluded Sounds & Scriptures.....and we putting it out for free so if anyone is reading this, be on the look out for it. Feb. 2009. It's YIam's year baby!

A day in the life of Inspirmentalist....

2008-11-11T12:31:00.000-08:00

mon thru fri.....3 to 11 day job....day job? Helpdesk Technician....Easy as pie...

after the day job mon and wed...blogtv web show....mood muzik monday and wayback wednesday

weekends....beats...sleep....food...parties...videogames...beats.....bars......blogtv......trips to other cities.....reading....beats....cleaning room and bathroom...pc repair...mixing songs for dance team and making flyers....beats.....

lol i do make beats during the week too but i get more time on the weekend.

"Oh why aren't you sign already?"

because the industry wants to rape me and take control of my soul and i refuse to sell my soul for a dollar.

"Your beats are hot and you give them away?"

only to those i know very well and trust, i don't sell them because most of them contain samples and i don't wanna risk getting sued

"You got some hot beats we should collab"

*listening to that persons music* um....maybe some other time.

It's the weekend ya'll!!!!

2008-09-20T08:58:00.000-07:00

Hmmmmmm....

i would have loved to spend time with that special lady.....
but it seems we back at square one.
hold her, caress her, have some fun.
look into her eyes and try not to stare.
now i'm feeling blue, because she's not there.
either way, imma have some fun today
play videogames, maybe a track today.
it would have been fun to go out on a date
but it seems that, that wasn't part of my fate.
but imma keep my head up a smile like the sun
even though me and her are back to square one
she only loves me for me, is not in love
she's really an angel from the heavens above
what would it take to make her mine?
i guess i just gotta stick to my grind...
even though there's a lot of stress on my mind.
i know one day, her lips will touch mine.

the end lol just thought i get a lil poetic because i'm feeling some type of way.

peace, love, and hairgrease (one of her favorite quotes)

It's been a long time...shout outs to yaya

2008-09-17T06:00:00.000-07:00

Shout outs to my homie yaya. also a new jersey native (yayalovesyou.blogspot.com) he has inspired me to be on blogspot a lot more lol....i have two blogspots but i think i'll use this one the most seeing that it's under my producer name. anyway, what have i been up to you ask.

still working my 3 to 11 easy ass job.
still working on new beats.
me and my boy hexx are working on an album called secluded sounds and scriptures.
been spending my quality time with a special friend( she knows who she is)/
looking to move to chicago next year for school and my music career.

basically....i've just been trying to make moves, whenever work doesn't get in the way. i've been doing what a 22 year old with a dream of being a music producer tries to do. mixed in with a 22 year old who has a normal life.

anyway, hope i got some viewers out there reading my work.

peace, love, and hairgrease.

I gotta work

2008-07-02T17:34:00.000-07:00

What's up ya'll. it is official 8:37 pm i'm in the middle of "Working" right now. yea i got a 3 to 11 to you know, pay my bills, buy my food, put gas in my car, and fund my music. Yes Yes i know i'm a pretty good beat maker but i can't just live off the beats yet. well anywho, i got a job as a desktop support technician. basically all i gotta do is just wait for a problem to emerge and go fix it. easy right? hell yes.(time to clean the pc stations) 9:17pm: well it's only like my 4th week here so i know they'll probably have some work for me soon. but whenever i'm not handling a situation, i basically just kick and relax and just wait for the calls to come in. yes i wish my bosses would give me a little bit more work but eh it's cool because the company is pretty cool.

just dropping a line ya'll.

peace,
